The GTI has actually gone electric … and this is it– the brand new Volkswagen ID. Polo GTI. The very first completely electric GTI in the badge's 50-year history, and truthfully, this seems like a huge minute for Volkswagen. In this video I'm taking an appropriate very first take a look around the brand-new electric hot hatch to see whether it actually is worthy of those 3 legendary letters.
Due to the fact that while rivals like the Cupra Raval VZ, Alpine A290 and Mini JCW Electric are all going after huge performance figures, Volkswagen states this car has to do with something a little different. Not simply straight-out speed … however proper GTI feel.
And there's a lot here that feels reassuringly GTI. The iconic red line across the nose, tartan seats, retro Mk1-inspired display screens, front-wheel drive, adaptive suspension and even a devoted GTI mode designed to turn whatever up when you want some fun.
Efficiency originates from a 226hp electrical motor coupled with a 52kWh battery, giving the ID. Polo GTI a 0– 62mph time of 6.8 seconds and approximately 263 miles of WLTP variety. It'll likewise charge from 10– 80% in around 24 minutes.
So yes, it's electric. However Volkswagen plainly wants this to feel like a genuine GTI initially and an EV second. And honestly? From what we have actually seen so far … VW may just have pulled it off.
Let us understand what you think!
